That's how the modern goalie plays - Everyone agrees that the goalie has a central role in any soccer team. But the goalie isn't just there to protect his goal. That's because the skills a goalie needs in soccer today have become......

We will challenge you and your team with this drill. The distances between the individual positions in the animation are very short. The distance of the right and left markings can range throughout almost the entire field width.....

You can see two different sequences in our animation. In “reality”, both groups do one variation at a time. This way, the drill is also ideal to make into a competition. Make sure a fast pace is kept when running backwards......

This drill looks easier in the animation than it really is. The markings should be close together, so that the dribbler has to “pull” the ball around the obstacles. A fast pace combined with a great deal of skill and then one more......

The focus of this drill is on dribbling. We will also practice shots on goal and one-on-ones. The player on the left side of the practice field should start at the coach’s signal to make sure that the timing is right......
